title: Structural and magnetic modulations in CaCu(x)Mn(7 - x)O(12).
abstract: Low temperature atomic position modulations and magnetic moment modulations are reported for CaCu(x)Mn(7 - x)O(12) (x = 0.0, 0.1 and 0.23) using neutron powder diffraction. Both modulations are described with propagation vectors (0, 0, q) parallel to the c-axis in the hexagonal setting. The present neutron diffraction studies confirm the quantitative model describing the atomic position modulations in CaCu(x)Mn(7 - x)O(12) (x = 0.0 and 0.1) as derived from synchrotron based powder x-ray diffraction studies (Sławiński et al 2009 Acta Crystallogr. B 65 535). Neutron diffraction studies confirm the relation between the atomic position modulation length L(p) and the magnetic modulation length L(m) = 2L(p) between 50 K and the Néel temperature T(N). CaCu(x)Mn(7 - x)O(12) (x = 0.1 and 0.23) shows a magnetic phase transition near 50 K associated with considerable changes of the magnetic modulation length and the magnetic coherence length, similar to that observed in the parent CaMn(7)O(12).
